Substack for Android

I love reading great writing. I love that this is a place for people to share their gifting regardless of their platform or publishing relationship. I love that there is an option to support these writers as well. Writing is good, hard and tender work. I have found so many new voices whose perspectives make me think deeper about my own life. What a treat!

The new audio feature is great, essentially turning articles into podcasts. There’s an annoying bug. I only want to play one article at a time and despite never creating a playlist, previously played articles appear in the Next list and there’s no way to remove them. I don’t want a playlist. An even bigger problem with the app is that not every article displays in the main feed. You have to go to an author’s page in the app to see all their articles. I have no idea why and there’s no setting to list all articles in the main feed. This means email is still the most reliable way to see what’s happening. Finally, notifications don’t work at all for me.

Spending and more time with Substack. Rich and deep.

Substack (a so-far wonderful platform, it must be said) is certainly not unique here, but sheesh, enough with the parasitic data grubbers. I’ll keep reading anonymously on the web, thx.

Great app. Only thing how do I turn on the dark mode it kills my battery when I watch movies or reed Gregory Marino’s posts.
